<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3383850, member: 99642&quot;]If you&#039;re talking about the &quot;bumps&quot; that run in a circle near the rim on both sides, if they touch and/or are a part of the rim, they&#039;re called &quot;denticles&quot;. Denticles can be of different shapes and designs.</p><p>If they are round like these and don&#039;t touch the rim, they are called &quot;beads&quot;.</p><p>Many British and Canadian coins have beads.</p><p>Many Mexican and other foreign coins have denticles.</p><p><br /></p><p>This info is just what I&#039;ve gathered from collecting &quot;modern&quot; (1700 to present?) and reading the descriptions of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more definitive answers you could google &quot;coin denticles&quot; and &quot;coin beads&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which is what I&#039;m about to do right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
